Four-leaf clover

Four-leaf clover charted as clean filet blocks that read clearly on the grid, a 24 by 27 motif made for woodland blankets, seasonal pieces, and outdoorsy gifts. Open it in the editor to resize the grid, frame it with open mesh, or repeat it into a border, then export a PNG or print a numbered chart to crochet from.

Skill level: beginner

If this is one of your earliest charts, you are in safe territory. The outline is bold and simple, so a small miscount rarely shows in the finished piece.

Yarn and hook

Size 10 cotton thread on a steel hook makes a fine four-leaf clover panel; switch to DK or worsted cotton with a 3.5–4 mm hook and it grows into a soft, blanket-weight piece. Pick a smooth, non-fuzzy yarn so the filled blocks stay square and the open squares stay open after blocking.

Project ideas

Use the four-leaf clover as a quiet filler between larger motifs or a scene of its own. It suits a seasonal wall hanging and works just as well on a landscape panel. Scale the grid up for a centrepiece or tile the motif for an all-over effect.

Who it's for

Think of a nature fan, and occasions like an autumn make — the four-leaf clover lands well for both. Pair it with letters from the alphabet set to personalise the finished piece.

Size, printing, and scaling

At a 4-mesh-per-inch gauge the chart finishes around 6.0 by 6.8 inches; a finer thread shrinks it and a heavier yarn grows it, so check your own gauge first. Send the chart straight to print for a clean numbered grid, or resize and re-crop it in the editor first and export a PDF, PNG, or CSV.
